Yes, 45-70 handguns are ok.  I know guys who use it in t/c encore and BFR revolver.

Deer of course ;D

We are allowed straight wall out of handguns (single shot or revolver) (no semi-auto) but hope to join the ranks of Ohio & Indianapolis who are allowed to use pistol calibers in rifles.

Bottleneck 's are allowed out of the handgun but the case must be no longer than 1.4" (such as the .300 whisper & a couple more that I dont remember) No maximum lenght is listed on the straight-wall case so some use anything from a .500 smith to that .45/70. I personally use either the .45 Colt or the .44 mag.

A 480 Ruger barrel on a TC Encore pistol for whitetail for me. Buddy of mine has the same gun in 45/70 and has killed deer with it. I have shot it and it can be a handfull!
